Thought these were a solid buy, and ship direct to Aus, unlike the equivalent Amazon US sale.

Price changes at checkout where VAT is removed, making the total with delivery a few cents over 101 Euros.

Enjoy :)

EDIT: also available from Amazon.fr for almost 3 euros cheaper - thanks to u/Thrawn in comments. Link: http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B0126HISOO?ref_=gb1h_img_c-1…

  • Thanks for posting, cancelled my Amazon US order and ordered this one

    • I was under the impression that these didnt ship to Australia? (The ones from Amazon US)

  • +8

    Am I the only one that actually likes the noctua brown version of these cans?

    • I think they're kinda classy. The black is just kinda boring.

    • +1

      Agreed….buuuuuut can't argue with the $50 cheaper tag :)

    This is an excellent price on a seriously good pair of headphones; if you don't listen to a lot of bass and don't mind sound leaking out (or in) these will give you a rich and expansive soundstage. They should also double as an insanely good gaming set if you attach a mic to them (think antlion modmic 4.0 or v-moda boom mic).

  • Wow that cheap. I would get them if I didn't have my momentums over ears =/

  • Thanks OP, bought

  • Thanks. Christmas present for my son just done.

  • Thanks OP, in for a pair! not sure I'll like the sound sig, but worth the risk at this price

    • I went in with the same thought process haha. Guess we'll find out in a week or so!

  • I have Audio-Technica ATH-M50, should i get this?

    • +5

      These are a massive step up from the M50's in my opinion. The clarity is astounding. More bass with the Audio Technica but these have a wonderful sound stage and are so much more comfortable.

    • +1

      Also bear in mind that the ATH-M50s are 'closed' so harder for others to hear your music and you hear them. whereas the HD598 are 'open'. Definitely a step up but different usage. Go get it =)

    • These are definitely a step up from the M50s. They sound great without needing to be amped. The soundstage, treble and clarity cannot be compare to the that of the M50s

    • it will be a huge step up provided you listen to the type of music that benefits from it's sound signature. The m50s are arguably a better listen with bass heavy music like rap, EDM etc; you will also get better noise isolation with the m50s. For pretty much anything else including gaming this will be miles ahead.

        This just convinced me, using a set of on ear momentums for train rides + work, these will go great for tunes + gaming at home.

        Need to look into a mod mic next I think!

        Now have entirely too many sets of headphones.

        What have I done…

  • I have a HD 25 and just bought a vmoda crossfade wireless. Do i really need this >.>?

    I'm so tempted to buy it just to see what opened headphones are like…

    • Bought it :(

      It's still at that price, why is it marked expired?

      • Bleh got the dates wrong, have fixed. They're a different sound signature to both those phones, so looks like yep, you really need this :P

  • Should I get this? I have a pair of AKG Q701s

    • Eh I think the Q701s are supposed to be better headphones, but they're far more demanding to power - what do you amp them with? (I used to amp my Q701s with a Fiio E17 which was just terrible)

      • I have a Matrix M-Stage HPA-2. I was thinking of getting these as I've read they have better soundstage for gaming.

      • Hm. Good question. You have a neat amp - definitely want to stick to your Q701s for music.

        Depends on what kind of gaming you do. AD-700s work better imo for FPS gaming as the low level bass doesn't distort the sound of gunfire.

  • hey you audiophile guys, I have an Audio-Technica ATH-AD700 … should I upgrade to this?? Thanks in advance

  • Reviews on Amazon say you need an amp with these cans.. I'm just looking to use these at home for movies and music.

    • +1

      You shouldn't need one.

    • +1

      You won't need an amp. If anything, to improve the quality of your movie audio and music, listen to higher quality audio (320kbps or FLAC) off a good source (eg ipod or iphone, PC with sound card, external DAC).

      • Thanks guys bought it on your feedback..

        • when did you buy it? all showed over 200 Euro for me

        • @bonbon:
          I bought it before it ended

  • Awesome deal. There's also cheap momentums at the moment if anyone is looking for the on-ear variety (rather than over-ear).

    • Supposedly these are better then momentum for indoor listening in quiet place?

  • Shows EUR 287,79 now. I guess this is over.

    • Still available on amazon.fr…. I just ordered a set!

      • showed EUR 229 for me :(

    • +1

      They don't seem to ship to Australia?

      • they don't ship to the US either.

      • Are there any pairs left anywhere that ship to AU?

  • It's over

  • I got Harman Kardon CL's. Comparable? Worth upgrading?

  • hoping these won't leak too much for headphones at work.
    missed this deal so bought the amazon US for $94- gotta use mail forwarder though, hoping will be all up around $150- au
    ok, yes these do leak lots. will have to use these at home

    • +1

      Open headphones. Will leak but not as much as other open headphones

  • I paid well over $300 for these on Amazon a few years ago. Great headphones that I use for playing guitar through my Mac.

    • hey, what other gear are you using to play through your Mac?

      • I use iRig HD to connect my guitar which plugs into my USB port. It also comes with Lightning connector so I can use on iPad/iPhone too. Works great and the only option once Apple decided to combine their audio in and out ports.

    check your headphones when it arrives, there have been reports of fakes.

  • Mine haven't shipped yet and I don't think Amazon has taken payment from card yet. Is that normal?

  • I got an email saying expected delivery date is 14-18 Dec..

    • Cool. Mine says 22dec. Didn't get an email though. I logged in and paid with my US Amazon account. Wonder if that's affecting anything.

      • Got mine today.. Earlier than expected

        • Awesome! Enjoying it? :)

  • Got mine today. It's great about the SE is we have the standard 3.5 cable included.
